ECONOMIC HARDSHIP PRAYER

 

 

Heavenly Father,
it is symptomatic of our life today
that economics play a large part in it.
People labor zealously for a wage
so that they can acquire the needs of life.

They also work for
the so-called luxuries of life,
for the opportunity to have more leisure
to develop themselves in ways,
and to keep up with
their particular state of life.

Right now,
I find myself in a bad economic condition.
I just cannot seem to make enough money
to meet my obligations.
Please help me in this dangerous situation.

Teach me to live within my means
while at the same time
striving to increase those means.
Let me never lose heart
but continue to press on.

Most of all, inspire me
to seek first Your kingdom
in the knowledge that everything else
will be given me together with it.

In Jesus Christ's name I pray,
who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit
One God
forever and ever.

Amen~
